LMAO...that's messed up....wow.
It wasn't right then, either -- but it was just accepted. Why? Why did we just accept these things? Was he some pedophile coping a feel? In front of everyone? I mean, he didn't hide it. he did it in front of the whole team, in front of other coaches. Just reach out and pop them.

No m'aam. Well I guess he wasn't a pedophile. Still goes on occasionally now. Especially to catchers on baseball teams.

I have coached for about 30 years now myself. Never did it.

Maybe because I never wore a cup??

Just one of those immature things that goes on.

You ever seen a fully mature male especially in sports world?

Me neither...

Abusive gym teachers

I think when I was in middle school and high school, teachers who were too nasty for regular teaching and had a violent streak became gym teachers. ;-D One of the nastiest I had was in middle school. The guy was the coach of the JV high school basketball team but he wasn't at the high school because he got kicked out over complaint of violence against a student. So, what did they do? they sent him to the middle school ;-D and he still got to coach high school basketball. Even as horrible as middle school kids are, we knew not to mess with that guy. He didn't really speak, he just grunted and he always had a toothpick in his mouth. If any of us did anything wrong, we all ran laps all period. He actually liked to make us run laps all period because he would get to go inside and watch us out the window and not have to do anything.
Yep stereotypical gym teacher...

I was the irritating guy running in front of everybody during those laps. Used to love to run so never bothered me...

Now refrigerator seems so far away from my chair...

And you were the type of kid -- see that single set of footsteps in the sand there? That's you carrying me on your back because I sucked at running laps and would've paid you for the courtesy.

I used to be a catcher and centerfielder in youth league and in an 18+ baseball league. Not wearing a cup when catching is nuticide. Get hit in that area and it is :barf:

Yeah, that seems a little over the top even for back in the day. Yikes...

When I played softball, whenever I played in the infield, I would wear a cup. One night I was pitching and we were losing by a fair amount and my turn to bat was coming up. Since it was the top of the last inning and we were losing by several runs, I knew I probably wouldn't be going back out in the field so I pulled my cup out. When my turn to bat came, I hit a ground ball to short and the shortstop's throw to first base pulled the first baseman off the bag. He had to swipe to tag me and he nailed me right where my cup should have been. ;-D

One reason I never wore one was my daddy always told me if you were good enough with glove didn't need it.

OK I played SS for about 17 or so years so not as dangerous as when wearing "the tools of ignorance".
